In attendance, graduation rates, college readiness, credit accumulation and performance on NYS Regents examinations, TvF students are consistently outperforming their peers at other schools and are proving that they are ready for college and careers.

TvF is a career and technical education (CTE) high school which means that students simultaneously participate in a college preparatory academic program while learning skills that are applicable to the workforce. Every student at TvF participates in both components of the program. Classes at TvF generally meet for one hour and fifteen minutes. Depending on the credits, classes will meet 3, 4 or 5 times per week. Student and teacher programs at TvF are designed to provide both highly personalized instruction and flexibility to meet the individual aspirations and needs of every student.

How early college and our BMCC agreement work

College And
Career Ready.

TvF is built on the belief that career preparation and academic study strengthen each other, giving students a strong foundation for both college and the workplace. Our goal is for every student to leave ready for both, and the results bear that out. Our graduation rate has not dropped below 95% since our first class graduated in 2012. In 2024-25, 98% of the Class of 2025 graduated in four years (81% citywide) and 95% of seniors earned a CTE diploma. Within six months, 78% of our graduates were enrolled in college or a postsecondary program (63% citywide). See the full numbers on our Data page.
